حضرت مفتی محمد صادق علی اللہ تعالی عنہ 223 کے ایک نمایاں اخبار La Petit Marsellais بھی شامل تھا۔شکا گوٹریبیون (Tribune) نے اپنے پیرس ایڈیشن نومبر میں اچھا خاصا طویل مضمون لکھا: MOSLEM PRIEST IN CHICAGO WINS 700 TO HIS FAITH Mohammedanism is the solution of Amercia's race problem says Dr۔Sadiq, now in Paris on his way back to Bombay after converting seven hundred Chicagoans to the Moslem faith۔Mixed congregations of white and colored converts mingle without prejudice at the mosque, 4448 S۔Wabash Avenue, but the Moslem missionary foresees a hot scrap between his people and the Ku Klux Klan۔In the bright green gown and tunic of his order, Dr۔Sadiq is thoroughly oriental۔His American converts become slightly orientalized as soon as they join the faith۔They get a Mohammedan name to replace their ordinary title۔Thus Simon Buford of Chicago is now Abdus Sattar۔His brother Willie Buford is Abdul Jabbar۔Evalina Johnson now calls herself Hadya, her sister Louella is changed to Aleema, while Mrs۔Wilhelmina Ulzhoefer of Dayton, Ohio, is known as Saleema۔"Abe" Becomes "Azezullah"۔Bill Kelly of Chicago has added Wali to his good old Irish moniker and Mr۔Abe Lincoln of Detroit is called Azezullah by the faithful۔There are nearly a thousand more names and addresses in Dr۔Sadiq's book of converts۔Missions have been established in Detroit۔New Orleans and other cities in Florida, South Carolina, Indiana, West Virgina and New York۔The movement is going strongest in Detroit, Chicago and St۔Louis, declares the leader, but with other priests carrying on the work he is assured the number of converts will swell rapidly۔He has already made several priests among his colored converts in America, but so far none have arisen from the white brethern۔Veils like those of Turkey's harem women are worn by many of the ladies who now answer the Muezzin's call at the Chicago mosque۔"It is easier for the ordianary man or women of today to be a Mohammedan than to be a Christian," explains the learned Dr۔Sadiq,
